This is a family favorite from my childhood. I can remember my mom making these when I was growing up - I love to make these during the holidays to include in any gifts from my kitchen.

Peanut Butter Balls

1 pound powdered sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla in
1 cup melted butter
1 - 6 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 block of paraffin

Mix the first 7 ingredients. Shape into balls. Melt the chocolate chips and paraffin in a double-boiler over boiling water. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper to set.

These may be made ahead of time and frozen - allow to thaw before serving
